Alert.. Wildlife Sighting! Yesterday, was my last day in the Canyon Campground, so I decided that it was time to explore the Spray Trail leading to the community of Canmore, Alberta, Canada. Spray Trail is actually a gravel road. During my travels I planned on researching the day parks, trails and, also I needed to […]
Sitting here in a small cafe looking out at rock mountains and blue skies in the town of Canmore, Alberta in Kananaskis Country. I have not been ignoring you. No No. I been in the back country for 3-4 days researching and camping out totally out of cell and internet range. It has been an […]
Another gorgeous day! Spent the past few days powering down on parks and attractions in Calgary, Alberta. Yup, still here. And Bro is still in Drayton Valley. Good news is that I now know the streets and highways well in Cow Town. I even avoided a clogged up highway today due to a 6 car […]
For the past few days I have been navigating, exploring and researching along the highways and byways of Calgary, Alberta. getting my bearings straight. But I am not staying in Calgary as my base camp is in Black Diamond. It is nice being away from the city… a woodpecker and some crickets keep me company. […]
So.. Bro and I have finally met up, caught up and tracked each other down near Canmore, Alberta. We traveled for days and days and our paths finally came together so we could plan, work and rest. But working with the campground parks in Alberta is turning out to be a allot more work than […]
Well, a few days is now turning into four days of researching the region around Drumheller. I just kept finding more parks and hoodoos to visit. The list I had built was calling for a long day and allot of miles. The morning started at 7 AM as I was eager to get going.. as […]
Today we traveled back in time to the age of the dinosaurs. Yup, we packed up the travel pods and took to the roads from the southern east hip pocket of Alberta to the community of Drumheller east of Calgary. A community well known for dino digs and discoveries. The highway to Drumheller took us […]
From our new base camp called Lodgepole Campground in Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park we find ourselves waking up to two deer roaming the campground. Our new neighbours stare us down and then continue munching on some greenery – giving us a snub. We both got up early today, so to get some computer work done […]
You start off a day with a plan for researching. The night before you plan your routes so you are not going around in circles while you research and document attractions and activities. The next day I set out with my camera, a video and a note pad. And then somewhere along the way you […]
Spent the last few days and long evenings walking, hiking and exploring in and around the area of Medicine Hat, Alberta. All part and parcel of building our CanadaEH.net Travel Planning Network exposing the many outdoor tourism opportunities across this beautiful country. When researching a new community you never know what to expect. Often the […]
Big hugs all around as Bro and I hooked up again in Medicine Hat. The days are getting longer and hotter – just how we like it. Base camp in Medicine Hat is at an out of the way lake east of town called Cavan Lake. Sweet spot. No one is around us as we […]
Spent some quality time in Lethbridge, Alberta researching the trails, parks and community. The first day was a hot one, and one which I took full advantage of. I was eager to get going, so I was up and ready at 7:30 AM with bells on. First stop … Tim Hortons. Fueled up on java […]

Still camped out at Horseshoe Lake in Cranbrook BC (a.k.a Cranbrook Island) . The weather has been playing tricks with us. First we had a long spell there for awhile where we enjoyed some scorching heat and then another round of high winds. There seems to be no middle ground with the weather Gods. And […]
Since our trip from Alberta we have been working from our temporary base camp on Horseshoe Lake located near Fort Steele and Cranbrook, BC. It is our third visit! The campsites are huge. The neighbors are far. The views are captivating. The camping is free. You can swim, canoe, hike, dirt bike, suntan and fish. […]
So Bro and I met up in Lethbridge. He got some computer work done and I got some research done. Now we were planning our next move. But it seemed like snow was everywhere in Central and Northern Alberta and more was on its way. Radio was stating up to 40 cm in Edmonton. Brrrrrr. […]
Today, I was up at 7 AM for an eager start. Could not sleep. This time I was prepared for some alpine hiking. Bring on the snow! Had my waterproofs on. The camera was charged. I packed a map and plenty of water and snacks. Took a look up. To the west was blue sky […]
We are finally in Alberta. The adrenaline is pumping! A new adventure is just around the corner. This morning we decided to split up. Bro headed off to Lethbridge to establish a base camp and do some computer work. I am in Waterton National Park researching. How lucky am I! I arrived in Waterton Village […]
Wildlife and nature are two of my favorite photo moments. Unfortunately wildlife never wants to stay still. The Nakusp–Kaslo Hwy 31a is one of the most under rated tourism sightseeing drives in the Kootenays. It is full of scenery and opportunities to view wildlife especially at dawn and dusk. It was dusk and I was […]
Located east of Nakusp is a little recreation site on the shores of Box Lake. Here we decided to set up camp for a night. The location is private and is one of the self maintained campgrounds known in BC as a forestry recreation site. Not always easy to access these recreation sites as they […]
The highway drive from Kaslo following the Kaslo River did not let us down. The mountain ranges were covered in a blanket of snow, alpine lakes still half frozen. It was a postcard moment! We arrived in Nakusp early so we decided to take another drive out to the hot springs. Unlike the other hotsprings […]
